(d) Water services shall be assessed on a per service basis at 100% of the city's expense for such services. (e) All odd and irregularly-shaped lots of four sides or less, which have rear widths that vary by more than 25% in comparison with the front width, the lot will be assumed to have a depth equal to one-half the sum of the two sides and said depth will be divided into the area of the lot. to determine the assessable frontage. All lots of more than four sides will be geometrically converted to a four-sided Iot of equal area, then the odd-lot formula as stated above, will be used to determine the assessable frontage. Where this is not practical, the assessable frontage will be determined by assuming the lot to have an assessable frontage equal to those of the typical rectangular lots near it which are comparable in overall area and nature. 8. There shall be no assessments for pathway improvements. 9. Streetlights shall be assessed on a front footage basis as described in the City street light assessment policy and as follows: (a) All properties within 150 feet {street frontage} of each light shall be considered for assessment.

The additional costs for an "enhanced street light" project shall include; Cost of installation of enhanced streetlights, cost of operation & maintenance (pro-rated for 25 years), Administrative casts, minus "standard street light" maintenance cost (if applicable) {d) At the end of 25 years, the City will evaluate the maintenance needs for the "enhanced street light" areas. A reconstruction project will be considered where the new operation and maintenance costs for the next 25 years will be proposed to be assessed to the benefiting properties. (e} In new development and redevelopments, the operation and maintenance costs for an "enhanced street light" installation shall be paid for by the property owners in the new development in perpetuity. These costs shall either be paid for up front by the developer or assessed to the property owners. The total cost shall be the "enhanced street light" operation and maintenance cost minus the City's "standard street. light'' contribution. The City's basic contribution shall be determined based on the procedure outlined. in section 1V. B. of the City Street Light policy. Assessment Policy Summary Page 3 of 3 12/24/03
